ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. --

Alex Rodriguez has homered twice and driven in an AL-record seven runs in the same inning, reaching 30 homers and 100 RBIs for the 12th straight season despite missing the first month. Rodriguez hit a three-run homer off Tampa Bay rookie Wade Davis in New York's 10-run sixth inning Sunday, then connected against Andy Sonnanstine for his 18th grand slam. The second homer tied Rodriguez with Mark McGwire for eighth place at 583.
